Step-by-step explanation:
0.25 = one quarter - 2/8
3/8 is spent on food
so this leaves 3/8 for savings
therefore we know that $18.27 is 3/8 of her total allowance
so
18.27 ÷ 3 = 6.09
6.09 × 8 = 48.72
thus her total allowance must have been $48.72
Elvira (e) is 5 years older than Morton (m)
e = m + 5
Morton (m) is twice as old as Michelle (c)
m = 2c
The combined total of their ages is 85
e + m + c = 85
We want m at the end so let's write everything in terms of m.
e = m + 5
c = m/2
85 = e + m + c = m+5 + m + m/2 = 5 + (5/2) m
m = (2/5) (85 - 5) = 32
Answer: 32 years old
Check:
That makes Elvira 37 and Michele 16, total 32+37+16=85, good
Hello, I will try my best to explain this to you as simple as possible.
First, you have to pass the -4 to the other side, like this:
-3 1/2x - 4 = -38 1/8
↓
-3 1/2x = -38 1/8 - 4
Then, you have to subtract -4 from -38 1/8, like so:
-3 1/2x = -38 1/8 - 4
↓
-3 1/2x = -42 1/8
My preferred method for this next step is this:
-3 1/2x = -42 1/8
↓
-7/2x = 337/8
Then, we divide:
-7/2x = -42 1/8
↓
x = (-337/8) / (-7/2)
x = 12.0357142857
So, the answer is: 12.0357142857.
Hope this helped! c:
